Cover Story: Western Europe’s agrifood systems are highly developed, extremely complex, and will deal with major challenges as well as opportunities in the future. Securing their functionality during system transition is imperative. Multiple stakeholders are involved; therefore, synthesizing views from different scientific disciplines is essential for a robust trend analysis. Through workshops with an interdisciplinary panel of experts as well as extensive research, followed by close monitoring over 5 years, we identified nine trends with 50 subtopics that will influence the shape of the evolving agrifood systems. Based on this, we determined which trends need addressing by agrifood research to secure the systems’ future functioning. This contributes to enhanced strategies for sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. View this paper
